Cranks Loosening
Although not specified I will assume this setup is the cotterless or square taper type. It would also be helpful to know if the cranks are aluminum or steel. The bolt is metric and a 14mm socket will fit it. If you just got the unicycle the crank is loosening from initial riding. If not new, then the crank was loose for some time and has worn or rounded the crank/axle interface and probably cannot be re-tightened properly. If I put on new cranks I like to ride 100 meters and then re-tighten. Ride another 100 meters and re-tighten. Then ride a few miles and re-tighten. -- harper -Greg Harper *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* "Natural logs are what you ride on a Mun'e'." - kevinalexandersmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71805 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
